A complete and thorough study of the Poles and Saxons during the wars of Napoleon, including the organization, uniforms, and battlefield accounts. From the desperate actions of a handful of Poles defending a Spanish fortress to vast armies facing off to determine the fate of Europe, this lavishly illustrated work is researched from sources previously unavailable to any but the most ardent historian.

Assiste-t-on à l'éclatement de la politique étrangère des États ou à un phénomène de recompositionnédite de celle-ci? La mondialisation, avec ses effets positifs et/ou négatifs sur le plan local, les processus d'intégration régionale, la prolifération des flux transnationaux, le besoin d'affirmation identitaire et la quête de reconnaissance nationale et internationale favorisent la projection extérieur des collectivités subétatiques. La paradiplomatie est souvent accusée de remettre en cause le principe sacro-saint du monopole de la conduite des Affaires étrangères par l’État. Pourtant certains insistent sur les avantages qu’elle procure en diversifiant la présence ...

The modeling of reactive flows has progressed mainly with advances in aerospace, which gave birth to a new science called aerothermochemistry, as well as through developments in chemical and process engineering. This work examines basic concepts and methods necessary to study reactive flows and transfer phenomena in areas such as fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and chemistry. The book presents tools of interest to graduate students, researchers in mathematical physics, and engineers who wish to investigate problems of reactive flows. Portions of the text may be used in courses on the physics of liquids or in seminars on mechanics.

This book explores the aesthetic and ethical ways in which history and daily life are filmically represented and witnessed in Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien’s movies. From the era of the Japanese Occupation to the White Horror and then to the lifting of martial law, the author shows how Hou Hsiao-hsien uses visual media to evoke the rhythms of daily life through the emotional memory of the characters and communities he explores. In particular, the book focuses on the ways in which Hou Hsiao-hsien seeks to reflect the strong dilemmas of identity and the traumatic emotions associated with witnessing history. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it investigates the concepts of daily life, representation and historical trauma in order to focus on how these films represent history and political trauma through the nature of daily life and personal memories, and the resulting historical responsibility and ethics. This is the first academic monography about Hou Hsiao-hsien’s films.
